The USA’s deepest lake – plunging to staggering depths of 1,943 feet (592m) – is also among the most beautiful. It isn’t just the color that makes it mesmerizing, although the inky, navy hue is one of Crater Lake’s most striking features, making it appear almost solid. It’s the surrounding slopes, where the former volcano collapsed to form the caldera, now fed by rain and snowmelt. And it’s also features like Wizard Island, a cinder cone formed of volcanic ash and shaped like a pointy hat, and the “Old Man of the Lake”, a hemlock tree trunk that bobs in the water.
Crater Lake inspires awe. Native Americans witnessed its formation 7,700 years ago, when a violent eruption triggered the collapse of a tall peak. Scientists marvel at its purity: fed by rain and snow, it’s the deepest lake in the USA and one of the most pristine on earth. Artists, photographers, and sightseers gaze in wonder at its blue water and stunning setting atop the Cascade Mountain Range.
